The one on the right is the one jdawg.

I know people despise 4-2-3-1 but it'll work with Davies alongside Schneiderlin as opposed to 2 DMs in the latter and Gueye because won't just sit.

Rooney and Sigurdsson are interchangeable, no issues with either starting as long as it's in that position.

Maybe for a bit more experience I could see Rhino favouring Mirallas over one of the 2 wingers.

That also leaves Niasse in reserve should we be in need of a goal 2nd half.

100% agree. Although I think eventually Davies could occupy the role right behind the striker in the no 10 role, right now he gives us mobility box to box. He's a willing tackler, and I like the three man game with he and Jonjoe and whomever plays up front on the right. Lots of great possibilities there with Davies playing through balls or making the run himself or even switching the play.

Not in the slightest - again, it showed (and I'm not massively certain why you can't see this, but your posts are usually fairly obtuse) we have one of the best funded, most experienced U23 setups around. It's not even debatable, in fact it is something the club fully promote. In a lot of other squads, those players will never see first team action - at least 8 of them have here. So again, nice to win, not a huge shock, and not really a recommendation that a coach should be promoted to the full time gig.

God, this is a boring topic to discuss.

I wasn't disagreeing with your reservations on Unsworth as first team manager - I hold them as well - was just purely to do with his achievements. We do have a great academy but so do others and I just wanted to argue it was still a good achievement winning the PL2 regardless of how good we are. Unsworth can only manage what he's given after all and the bulk of the team for the 22 games were homegrown players that haven't played at a good level before.

Unsy is going to put his balls right out on the table, Chelsea won't be able to handle what he's got to give and we get a faith restoring victory that heralds a new Golden Era. 3-0 to Everton.

Anyone who says otherwise is a negative Geordie

Davies isn't a #10 mate, he can paly there because he's very talented but Davies is an old school CM.

He did not work closely within the academy. He did more with them than Koeman or Moyes did, but it still really only amounted to a conversation with them about how he liked to play, passing stats etc, which the academy coaches showed him they already do, and that was about it.

That's more than the other two ever managed, but it doesn't constitute working "closely" with them

Okay, "working" maybe and overstatement. But he'd watch and observe their games a lot and I know wanted updates on progress.

Additionally, he did agree for a lot of the staff their now to be brought in.

Again, in comparison to Koeman, he did a lot. And I also feel he led it on the right path.
